C32 Gearbox strong?

I was driving fast on twisty mountain road going up a steep hill, "D" gear selected, rapid change between 2nd and 3rd, 3000rpm-5000rpm.

Everything was smooth for the first 10 minutes, gear shift were quick and responsive. But after 10 minutes, there was a strong metal burning smell and the gear box became very lazy, it won't downshift even when I hit the throttle hard. The car return to normal after I let it cool down for an hour.

I took the car to the garage but no fault code found, all fluid level were normal. Maybe the C32 gearbox not design to handle mountain road in "D"?
